More quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
From my Christian formation've gotten my ideals and technique Gandhi action
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you....Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and, as difficult as it is, we will still love you.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friends are forever Boys are whatever.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man has not discovered anything so dying is not worth living
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education without direction is a one-sided social value. Direct action without education is a meaningless expression of pure energy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is such a thing as the freedom of exhaustion. Some people are so worn down by the yoke of oppression that they give up. [...] The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber. [...] To accept injustice or segregation passively is to say to the oppressor that his actions are morally right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I'm thinking of love in action and not something where you say, Love your enemies, and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you're willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You're willing to go to jail.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A true revolution of values will see that the western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no truth to the myth that Negroes depreciate property. The fact is that most Negroes are kept out of residential neighborhoods so long that when one of us is finally sold a home, it's already depreciated.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The curse of poverty has no justification in our age.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The modern choice is between non-violence or non-existence.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Negro is the child of two cultures - Africa and America. The problem is that in the search for wholeness all too many Negroes seek to embrace only one side of their natures.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
[nonviolence] seeks to secure moral ends through moral means.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think a revolution can survive without single centralized leadership.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
